It's a damn shame Williams have fallen back, and Red Bull are still handcuffed by Renault, because it feels like we are going to get a lot of very similar predictions for each race. I mean my big decision for this race is basically which Ferrari to put behind the two Mercs. Seb feels like the safer choice, but Kimi is getting closer and closer...

1. Hamilton2. Rosberg3. Raikkonen

Look on the bright side - at least the Ferrari cars are close enough you have that call to make! If this was 2014, it'd be HAM / ROS / ALO every race...

Very true! Although if the gap between Merc and Ferrari, and Ferrari and the rest, stays about the same over the course of the season, I dare say I'll end up predicting Hamilton - Rosberg - Vettel the majority of the time. Even now I'm still debating whether or not to swap Kimi back for Seb, but getting the instances when those two - as well as Lewis and Nico - have their positions reversed seems like it'll be what ultimately decides our little championship.

A return to China and a return to a more familiar result with a Mercedes taking victory. Hamilton led Rosberg home from pole position with the Ferrari of Vettel taking the final step on the podium.

With the shock of Malaysia fresh in our minds we had a more varied entries this round, which makes for a more diverse score. 6 entrants correctly guessed all 3 podium positions and received the round win and perfect podium bonus points. Jenson's Understeer, jimmyj, mcdo, CPG, Mayhem and Saz

And in the constructors standings F1 Mayhem had a perfect round scoring the maximum 28 points, which puts them a whole perfect podium (14pts) ahead of the next team McLotus.

Bahrain up next this weekend. First double header of the season and as it stands the only choices to make appear to be which Mercedes to back for the win, and which Ferrari to make the podium, but will Bahrain give us a surprise?
